Social Planning
Council's social planning process consists of three related activities:
Need Assessment
This includes the production of Demographic and Social Profiles and the regular provision of reports and information to Council on emerging needs and opportunities.
Policy Development
Council's social policy documents outline our objectives and broad strategies in each of the following policy areas: Aged, Youth, Disability, Multiculturalism and Community Development. The Branch also reports to Council on emerging issues and drafts policy advice on specific matters of concern to the community and Council. New policy areas are also developed in emerging areas like community protection and community information.
Planning and Policy Implementation
Strategic plans are developed and implemented in consultation with Community Advisory Committees to enhance program performance and ensure the relevance of strategies to the community. Community Development staff also support community and corporate programs which impact on Council's social policy objectives eg Community management, the Financial Assistance Program and social impact assessment.
